Who Would've Known (S.M Fanfiction)

Chapter 28

"So here's the deal." Shawn says.

"Speak." I say acting like in a mafia movie, putting my hands on top of the table, making Shawn chuckle. He is really stressed, you can see that whatever is coming isn't good. And I'm kinda worried.

"Okey so, Andrew called me in the morning to let me know everything that was going on, on the media. He told me we were going to discuss everything over a meeting once the situation was studied. So they checked everything that people was saying on social media, they checked the comments on your posts, some fan accounts, and everywhere where we were mentioned. So apparently we are dating, so a part of fans are angry because I'm "dating you", and other part is angry because apparently I haven't been honest with them. Because I keep saying I'm single, which I am, but they think I'm dating you. So I tried everything I could Emma to not get you involved at all, but management, well you can imagine how they are, they worry to much about reputation and what people will say. Anyway after like an hour of debating we all agreed to something. At first management wanted me to take you there so you could sign a contract, were you promised to do what they wanted you to do."

"What do they want me to do? Fake dating you?" I ask a little bit mad.

"No! I don't like faking that kind of stuff. And that's were I'm going. What I was able to do is to take away all contracts. I talked to management and convinced them to not use any contract with you. So this isn't something you have to do, I want to ask you this as a favor, to help me." Shawn says taking a deep breath. "So here's the deal, apparently we can't do anything to calm the situation. To calm it I'll have to say we are dating, which we aren't, so I'm not doing that. So what management thinks its a good idea is to make people like you. It happened with Hailey also, when we were friends and people assumed we were dating, although she had her own management and she knew how to deal with all these media stuff. Anyway they want people, well more like my fans, to get to know you."

"So what do they want me to do?"

"Okay, so I'm asking you this as a favor Emma. If you don't want to do it, it will be totally fine, don't feel pressured to say yes. It's all up to you."

"What do I have to do? You are starting to scare me." I say and Shawn chuckles.

"Nothing bad I swear. I just don't want you to feel like you have to. Anyway what I'm asking you to do, if you want, is to be more active on social media. On twitter maybe tweet something once a day, or give a lot of retweets to stuff. Twitter isn't the big deal as in Instagram. On Instagram they want you to maybe post once a week or something. But what they really want is for you to post a lot of stories. It can be of anything you want, from a picture of your breakfast, or if you're watching tv, or if you're with your friends. Anything you want. They just want you to share pieces of your life with them. So what do you say?"

"That's all?"

"Oh and if you can follow a couple of fans on either Twitter or Instagram."

"And that's it?"

"Yeah."

"Geez Shawn, you had me all scared. Of course I'll do it."

"Really?"

"Yeah! I mean I'm not a fan of posting stories 24/7 or of sharing my private life. But I'll do it, it won't take a lot of time. And besides if its for you I'll do it. As in a thank you for everything you have done for me so far."

"Thank you for agreeing." He says grabbing my hand from across the table.

"You're welcome." I say smiling. We stay like that for what feels for hours, when the waitress brings us our stuff. We both thank her, and it looks pretty delicious. "I guess this is a good time to loose my Instagram Story virginity."
